To say they had joined hands might be overstating the Master. To say he had defected or submitted might be closer to the truth.
Otherwise, on what basis could the Master hold multiple Disciple Wars in this chapter and even have a deity like the Vengeance Goddess serve as the ga’s judge?
A flash of insight went through Lin Xun’s mind.
“Could it be that the Disciple Sanctum is actually also located in so region of this chapter?”
“So that mbers of the New World can enter the Disciple Sanctum again and again, just like with the Disciple War?”
Lin Xun felt this was highly likely.
But there was still a loophole he could not explain, and it was a huge one, big enough to overturn all his current conjectures.
How had the Master produced the chapter invitation letters?
Leaving the question of the invitation letters aside for the mont, sothing even more absurd than the invitation letters was that every mber of the New World could enter the Disciple Sanctum as long as they had a seat pass.
Even the recruitnt qualifications for Easter Egg Chapters had nurical limits. If the Disciple Sanctum was also in this chapter, then how had the Master broken through this kind of nurical limitation?
Could a single evil god from within a chapter pry open the rules of The Book of Salvation?
Lin Xun shook his head. Unless it was a terrifying evil god like the Extre Delusion Fruit, which had devoured and corrupted many main gods and thus magnified its own might to an unimaginable level, that would not be possible.
Otherwise, judging by the power The Book of Salvation had displayed so far, no evil god could shake its existence. At least, Lin Xun had never encountered such a god.
He had not seen one even while in a Hell Chapter, so it was hard to imagine that there existed, in an Ordinary Chapter or even a Nightmare Chapter, a deity stronger than the Extre Delusion Fruit.
“To pull all of this off, they have to have the Librarian’s help…”
No matter what the truth of this chapter was, to do things like organizing a Disciple Sanctum and holding a Disciple War, they absolutely needed help at the level of the rules themselves, and only the Librarian could possess such authority.
Having reached this conclusion, Lin Xun felt a weight sink in his chest.
For what purpose had the Librarian helped the Master?
The Master was part of the surrender faction, the descent faction. His actions clearly went against Salvation.
Did the Librarian not know this, or did he know full well that the Master had already fallen to the side of the evil gods and still chose to help him?
Or was it that the Master’s intentions were not as simple as Lin Xun currently imagined, and perhaps in so sense also aligned with the idea of Salvation, which was why he could receive the Librarian’s help?
The more Lin Xun learned, the more questions he had in his belly.
He manipulated the Shell and looked around. The island was deathly silent, and at the edge of his vision was the dark, fearso sea under the night sky.
“Should I go take a look outside the island?”
Lin Xun recalled the Vengeance Goddess’s warning to him. If he did not leave this chapter now and instead continued to linger here exploring the outside world, the Vengeance Goddess would probably turn on him with rciless wrath.
“Sigh, that really is a clean break, huh…”
He clicked on the Resting Page and returned to the Library.
[Teleporting…]
[…]
[…]
[Teleportation successful.]
[The powerful wandering soul awakens in the Library…]
[You imdiately see the Librarian. Beneath the massive Book of Salvation, he is leaning back in a rocking chair, adjusting his monocle as he flips through a small Book of Salvation taken from the nearby shelf.]
[Seeing this, you cannot help stepping forward and raising the doubts in your heart, asking the Librarian why he helped that Apostle whose codena was ssiah.]
[The Librarian sets aside the book in his hand and shakes his head, telling you that you currently do not have the authority to question him. Once you obtain the relevant authority again, you may co back and ask him…]
Lin Xun could not help grinding his teeth. Last ti, this old man had been questioned into a corner halfway through their talk and, with no way out, had simply run off.
This ti, he had finally shown up back in the Library, only to say that Lin Xun had already used up his authority from last ti and had no authority to question him again.
Was that not obviously just bullying?
[Naturally, you are not willing to let it go. You step forward and argue your case, demanding to continue the questions from last ti…]
[The Librarian simply opens the book in his hand and reads, ignoring you…]
[…]
[You receive a summons from ssiah and are asked to teleport to the Disciple Sanctum as soon as possible.]
Lin Xun was stunned.
The Disciple War had already ended. As the victor now, instead of asking the feigning-dead Librarian, he might as well go and ask the Master.
With his status as the lowest-ranked Disciple, he had cut down a host of middle-tier and upper-tier Disciples. The only remaining Disciple, Amos, had survived only because he had yielded and beco a lackey.
Judging by the potential he had displayed in the Disciple War, he had undoubtedly beco one of the gladiators whom the Master valued most.
Even if, in the Master’s eyes, he was nothing more than a chess piece, once a chess piece grew powerful enough to be impossible to ignore, it could also possess a certain right to know.
Lin Xun clicked teleport and entered the Disciple Sanctum.
Following the prompts, he made his way to the Hall of Promise, a place he had never set foot in before.
[…]
[The dim hall is exceptionally spacious, but the number of seats within is far fewer than in the other council chambers.]
[On the dais at the very front of the hall, a figure in gray robes stands there quietly.]
[ssiah: Cain, you have done very well.]
Lin Xun thought to himself that he had killed all the Disciples under this man’s command, and that was ‘done very well’?
The leader of a villainous organization truly did think differently from ordinary people.
[Cain: Master, the Disciple War was far too brutal. I did not dare hold back.]
[ssiah: Not dare to hold back? What I want is precisely for you not to hold back.]
[You have always been hiding your strength. Only after entering this Disciple War were you finally willing to fully stretch your limbs and unleash all of your potential.]
[You are indeed qualified to beco the First Disciple. Becoming a Saint is not impossible either.]
[Cain: My lord flatters . There is one thing I do not understand. What exactly is a Saint?]
[ssiah: When you possess an immortal realm, you can beco a Saint. Only Saints are qualified to follow to the New World.]
[Just like Solomon. Although he lost in this Disciple War, he has already faintly begun to touch the threshold of the immortal realm.]
[For soone with such potential, even if he loses the position of First Disciple, the chances are not small that he will eventually achieve immortality.]
[Just as I was unwilling to see you die, how could I bear to let Solomon die in the Disciple War?]
Lin Xun’s heart gave another jolt.
Solomon was not dead?
Had he not already died very thoroughly? Even his soul had been annihilated, yet he could still be alive?
If Solomon was still alive, did that an Vishnu might also still be alive?
[ssiah: I know what you are thinking. Do not worry. Vishnu is completely dead, while Solomon survived only because he possessed the Soul Secret – The Fire Never Dies.]
[He will beco a reserve Saint. I will hand his position as First Disciple to you.]
